AB  - Age is the most important factor associated with sexual
dysfunction. The traditional thinking explained this
association by the neurovascular events developing with
the aging process. More recently, central neuro-endocrine
mechanisms resulting from apoptosis in the hypothalamic
areas involved in both the production of sex hormones
and the control of sexual processes have added a new
dimension to human sexuality. This evidence is still
controversial but of unquestionable importance in our
understanding of endocrine alterations and sexual
shortcomings associated with aging.
